Mystery and suspense

The Rainbow Riddle

by Margaret Sutton

A rainbow and an accompanying riddle lead Judy Bolton into a mystery whose clues require interpretation rather than simple pursuit. The puzzle draws her through local relationships and places where apparently harmless details acquire new significance. Judy’s instinct for connecting emotional motives with physical clues proves as important as conventional detective work. Margaret Sutton’s Judy Bolton adventure combines a colorful central puzzle with the series’ continuing emphasis on community, friendship, and mysteries that grow from the lives of people Judy knows.
